Celestion Introduces FTR12-4080DL 4-Ohm Low Frequency Driver for Uncompromising Bass

July 26 2023, 01:10
Celestion introduced the FTR12-4080DL 12-inch, low frequency 4-ohm driver which is specifically designed for subwoofer applications, offering a compact and powerful alternative with a cast aluminum chassis and ferrite magnet. Well-established as an 8-ohm driver, this purpose-built subwoofer is now available in 4-ohm, making it ideal for applications that are hungry for every watt of amplifier power when delivering uncompromising bass.
 

A new product from one of the world's leading suppliers of professional loudspeakers and compression drivers for sound reinforcement applications is always something to take into consideration, particularly when reinforcing a key category as compact low frequency drivers, simply with a lower impedance model.

Developed at Celestion’s headquarters in Ipswich, England, this loudspeaker was designed using the company's unique FEA (Finite Element Analysis) modeling techniques, enabling the Celestion engineering team rapidly to achieve genuine increases in performance, including greater efficiency, and exceptionally low distortion.

The Celestion FTR12-4080DL features a 4-inch voice coil, providing 1400W of continuous power handling and 88dB sensitivity with an output frequency range of 20-300Hz. The half-roll elastomer surround offers improved modal distribution for reduced distortion and enables greater stability at extremes of excursion (with an Xmax of 13.6mm) for a solid, deep bass response.
 
The Airflow vented magnet assembly allows for dynamic heat dispersion, minimizing power compression and enhancing product longevity. The driver features optimized double suspension for enhanced control and linearity and the glass loaded paper cone features a weather-resistant impregnation for extreme durability.
 
The new FTR12-4080DL cast aluminum loudspeaker emphasizes Celestion’s continuing commitment to delivering a wide range of high-quality solutions for sound reinforcement and professional audio applications, in this case with a compact driver optimized to effectively cover the lower frequency range.
